NEO Battery Materials Ltd. (" NEO " or the " C   o   mpan   y "), a low-cost silicon anode materials developer that enables longer-running, rapid-charging lithium-ion batteries, is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Dongmok Whang, NEO's Lead Scientific Advisor, as a new Director of the Company.

Dr. Whang commented, "It is a great pleasure to be more deeply involved with the Company that is at the forefront of revolutionizing battery technology. Only three years into R&D, NEO's pace of performance optimization has been outstanding, considering that battery materials development is a tedious, taxing process. We will prioritize testing existing products into larger cell formats with graphite anode blends, and this next-stage optimization effort will be decisive for commercialization. Overall, I am enthusiastic about the work being completed and what I can contribute more towards NEO's go-to-market strategy."

From joining NEO's Scientific Advisory Board in 2021 to being appointed Lead Scientific Advisor last August, Dr. Dongmok Whang has been appointed as a new director of the Company. Dr. Whang is a distinguished scholar specializing in various advanced functional nanomaterials with wide-ranging applications, including high-energy-density electrode materials and solid-state electrolytes for secondary rechargeable batteries. With a prolific academic portfolio, he has published around 200 scholarly papers and over 80 patents. His influential research has garnered over 15,000 citations, underscoring the significant impact of his work on the field. He is a Professor at the School of Advanced Materials Science & Engineering and Advanced Institute of Nanotechnology at Sungkyunkwan University.

Sona Nanotech's THT Cancer Studies Demonstrates Strong Efficacy in Third Preclinical Study and Plans for First-in-human Early Feasibility Study

Sona Nanotech's THT Cancer Studies Demonstrates Strong Efficacy in Third Preclinical Study and Plans for First-in-human Early Feasibility Study

Sona Nanotech Inc. (CSE: SONA) (OTCQB: SNANF) (the "Company", "Sona") announces results from its most recent preclinical study of its Targeted Hyperthermia Therapy ("THT") which uses the Company's patented, biocompatible gold nanorods ("GNRs") to treat certain solid cancer tumors, shrinking them and acting as an immune stimulator. Building on its success in melanoma and breast cancer studies, the Company's third preclinical efficacy study was conducted in an immunologically 'cold' colorectal cancer model ("CT26"), a model that represents the majority of human colon cancers, which do not typically respond to current standard of care immunotherapies.

In this preliminary study, whereas no mice that were given standard immunotherapy alone showed any response, 100% of mice in the THT treatment group responded to the same immunotherapy with 50% (4 out of 8) of those tumors eliminated within 12 days of treatment, as shown by the green line in Figure 1, below.
